7.Puerto Plata: 27 Waterfalls Adventure with Traditional Lunch

★★★★★★★★★★4.4 · 59 reviews · 4 hours · from $57

From Puerto Plata, Edwin Transfers Tours takes you to Damajagua for a guided forest hike, waterfall jumps, natural slides, swimming, helmets, life jackets, and a traditional lunch. The route reaches up to eight cascades, not all 27, and suits active swimmers aged eight and older.

“It's really fun. Lunch is so good. Tour guides were amazing. Really it's 5 stars. The only thing is that naming of the tour is ambiguous. You're not seeing 27 waterfalls. You're seeing waterfalls in a park called "27 Waterfalls". Just something to tame your expectations. It's still worth the money though.”

8.Damajagua Waterfalls Tour with Lunch

★★★★★★★★★★4.2 · 21 reviews · 4 hours · from $65

You’ll hike through tropical forest and rocky creeks to Damajagua’s natural pools, then choose a calm route or an active descent with slides and jumps. Private transport, lunch, water, and sodas are included, while certified park guides provide helmets and life jackets inside the public reserve.

“This activity is not really for everyone, and this should have been specified by the guides. Besides the fact that you need to know how to swim, you also need to have courage. The natural slides are quite challenging. Another thing that should be mentioned is that there is no way back — once you reach the first slide, you can’t go back. Other than that, it was fun”

★★★★★★★★★★4.8 · 13 reviews · 4 hours · from $104

From Amber Cove, Taino Bay, or Puerto Plata, you’ll hike 30 minutes through rainforest, ride five ziplines, and swim through seven waterfalls and river pools. Raul handles port transfers, while local guides lead the adventure. Bring water shoes, swimwear, a towel, and dry clothes.

“Our guide, Raul, picked us up from the port on time, whisked us to the waterfall and zip lining location, gave us water, and after the activity we ate at the buffet on site. Then Raul drove us back to the port. Edwin Tours was easy to communicate with, was prompt and courteous. We had quite the adventure with this tour, it was very physical but exhilarating. So much fun!”
